I've had excellent luck online with this one. I've spent a bit of time reading now about the various aircraft too, lots of interesting history in it.

Our 8 yo son now runs around the house with a die-cast Polikarpov I-16 as his main dogfighting toy, lol Never heard of that one either. I'm going to guess most people trying this game don't know what fighter is good for what, especially what optimal altitudes are.
And that's why I think some people should look into the planes, not just because it could assist them with the Online aspect of the game, but because then you just get a better respect for the planes.

anyways, i must be seriously bad at the game, cos i find the spitfire way easier to fly than the 109....
maybe i just find it nicer though...which is why i fly it regardless of what anyone else is flying.
Well I suggest looking into the Spitfire models in the game, and read some info on them outside the game. You'll get a better aspect of what your up against and what your limitations are etc. online.
